The case against Iran?

The U.S. was planning to release a dossier of specific accusations and evidence against Iran, but decided to hold it up. Why? Because people might ask questions about it. Even Faux News can't quite hide it:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A plan by the Bush administration to release detailed and possibly damning specific evidence linking the Iranian government to efforts to destabilize Iraq have been put on hold, U.S. officials told FOX News.

Officials had said a "dossier" against Iran compiled by the U.S. likely would be made public at a press conference this week in Baghdad, and that the evidence would contain specifics including shipping documents, serial numbers, maps and other evidence which officials say would irrefutably link Iran to weapons shipments to Iraq.

Now, U.S. military officials say the decision to go public with the findings has been put on hold for several reasons, including concerns over the reaction from Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it.

Of course, Faux News can't quite bring itself to say the follow-up questions might challenge the truthfulness of the "evidence." But, we all remember the uranium from Niger and the aluminum tubes clearly enough to know what to look for now.

And, by the way, who the hell cares how Ahmadinejad reacts?
